    1960 radiator support brackets

    Assembly manual does not show installation of solid lifter tank top radiator to aluminum support brackets. Are L head bolts correct to pass through radiator? Head of bolt to motor side? Flat washers on both sides with split lock washer on nut side? Assumed flat washers since aluminum and lower bracket attachment is slotted. Appreciate help, Lynn

    Lynn, I did one of those a while ago......

    The head of the bolts MUST be on the front side(not motor side) of the rad/brackets so they clear the support front top crossmember. Yes the bolts pass right through the core. Flat washers on both sides with split lock washer on nut side?....YES. Just snug, not too-too tight.

      Boy, I'm glad that I found this thread because I've been puzzling a couple of hours now how to attach the side brackets (and fan shroud) as there are no nuts welded to the second and third hole of the new brackets I purchased from Corvette Central. See the attached pic. Guess I'll be making a pointed call to Corvette Central customer service tomorrow! Thanks for the nice pics and instructions Richard.
